Ayala's Herbal Water Review and Giveaway...

Thanks to Ayala's Herbal Water, we recently had the opportunity to sample several flavors of infused waters:

About Ayala's Herbal Water:

"At Herbal Water®, we make our flavored water by infusing organic herbal extracts in pure artesian water. We use no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives, and no additives of any kind. Get your dose of natural bliss in six exotic flavor combinations.
Culinary herbs are the natural way to add real flavor and enhance any food or drink. For centuries, they have been prized for their calming, stimulating, and aphrodisiac qualities. Ayala's flavored water harnesses the power of these natural wonders in a delightfully refreshing, mellow, yet complex, aromatic drink. Enjoy a straight-from-the-garden taste of organic herbal extracts and the crisp freshness of artesian water in every sip.
100% Good For You!™The Herbal Water story begins in the spring of 2005, in the garden of Dr. Ayala. A passionate cook, trained pediatrician, talented artist and lifelong vegetarian, Dr. Ayala has spent years exploring healthy, tasty ways to feed children and adults.
Seeking an alternative to sugar-laden and artificially flavored beverages, Dr. Ayala created her own blends of herb-infused waters that magically satisfy thirst and restore the spirit. Among her family and friends, Dr. Ayala's herbal waters became famous for their uniquely refreshing tastes and aromas.
Full of flavor yet free of calories, artificial sweeteners, and artificial chemicals, these naturally fragrant beverages evoke happy feelings, like a breeze in a sunny garden.
The growing demand for these tasty herbal waters led Dr. Ayala to bring Ayala's Herbal Water to everyone.
Ayala's Herbal Water is the first nationally available organically certified enhanced flavored water made with all organic ingredients. Each Herbal Water blend is all-natural and sets a new standard for healthy beverages: zero calories, zero artificial sweeteners, flavors, and colors, and zero chemical preservatives. And our water comes from an Artesian Well in Virginia.
Nothing but great taste from pure water, infused with the finest natural herbs from around the world and kept fresh in a beautiful bottle for your enjoyment." A few flavor descriptions:

-Ayala's Lemongrass Mint Vanilla Herbal Water is a bright medley of crisp flavor notes with a smooth finish. Awaken your senses with organic lemongrass extract, refreshing spearmint, and the suppleness of real vanilla.
Especially versatile, the citrusy-floral taste of lemongrass gets an added jolt of cool with spearmint, while the vanilla rounds out the mix with a deep and persistent sweetness that lingers pleasantly on the palate.
Try this citrusy-minty-vanilla drink after a workout or yoga class to reenergize your body and mind while maintaining that blissful post-exercise feeling. Indulge in the sweet aromatic scent and rehydrate with delicious herbs infused in pure water.

-Nourish body and soul with Ayala's Cloves Cardamom Cinnamon Herbal Water. This robust blend caresses the palate with the warmth of deep, rich flavors from some of the earth's most sensual and ancient spices.
Clove Cardamom Cinnamon was a natural choice for us, and this delicate blend pays homage to the longstanding legacy of spiced chai teas. These three spices mingle playfully on the taste buds in a full-bodied medley of warm, earthy flavors.
We use only organic cardamom, cinnamon, and clove extract to infuse our beverages and suggest pairing this drink with a delicious, spicy meal. Of course, it's also good on its own, especially to warm yourself inside-out on chilly days and nights.

-Ayala's Lemon Verbena Geranium Herbal Water is a pure, sensual delight that pairs the crisp, clean taste of lemon verbena with the flowery softness of rose geranium. Take a diversion into the sweet beyond with this gorgeous herbal blend.
Pair this flowery-citrus beverage with your favorite fruits and other sweet treats. The rosy flavors and bold lemony notes are primed for rich chocolates and dark berries and enhance subtle melons and custards.
We think of Lemon Verbena Geranium as our most romantic blend and have quickly fallen in love with the graceful floral aromas and clean citrusy finish. Try it today-maybe you'll find love at first sip, too. What we thought: WOWZA! Talk about a FULL-flavored water! We have tried our share of flavored waters and we're used to a little bit of flavor and a lot of sugar, so we were really surprised by the strength of the flavoring in Ayala's Herbal Waters. We were VERY impressed! My personal favorite was Lemongrass Mint Vanilla...Refreshing and Herbal-icious:) I loved the tasting recommendations as well. These waters were unlike anything we've ever tasted. There is a flavor for every mood:) ABCD Diaries gives Ayala's Herbal Water an A!
